Why can't you have cake and eat it?

Good question. What's the point of having it then?

Maybe a different way to put it is that when you're a member of the dominant majority, you don't perceive yourself as having a special "culture," but that's only because the culture you live in is as invisible to you as water is to a fish.

For example, if you and I picked up an moved to Tehran, we would probably bond because we would both be American ex-pats living in a relatively alien civilization. Our Iranian neighbors would probably view us as having our own unique "western" culture, whereas they would just see their culture as "everyday life in Iran."

THIS.

Ahh, an actual journalist.
